The national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party and ex-governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been asked to remain its sole presidential candidate to fly its flag in the 2023 general election.

The pioneer National Chairman and founder of the NNPP, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, said this at a news conference in Lagos on Friday.

Aniebonam said the party’s special national convention scheduled for June 8 in Abuja was to confirm Kwankwaso, a former defence minister, as the candidate of the NNPP.

Aniebonam stated, “He (Kwankwaso) is to be returned unopposed. Kwankwaso is a man of God. Now is the time for God’s intervention in Nigeria. What Nigeria needs now is a strong leader like Kwankwaso, a man with character and patriotism with capacity for human development.

“When we get a strong leader, all agitation will die a natural death. If Kwankwaso emerges the President, some of these problems will be resolved.”

The founder noted that only divine leadership could solve Nigeria’s numerous challenges.

Aniebonam stated that the Kano politician heard the divine voice of God to lead on the platform of the NNPP.~punchnews
